NTSC DV2Float

NTSC-DV2Float

Author: Bob Dougherty (rpd@optinav.com)

Installation: Download NTSC_DV2Float.class or NTSC_DV2Float.java and place it in the Plugins folder.

Description: ImageJ plugin to divide a stack of RGB images from an NTSC Digital Video camera
into separate 32 bit red, green and blue stacks. It attemps to reverse the "gamma" correction
to produce a linear intensity scale in the range of 0 to 100. It also corrects the 0.9 aspect
ratio of the pixels in NTSC Digial Video images, changing the 720x480 rectangular pixel format to
720x533 square pixels. (This plugin is not right for PAL DV images.) The gamma un-correction is
very approximate, and was derived from data from a Canon XL1 video camera.

ImageJ can be freely downloaded from the ImageJ web site.
